Mission & Vision Statements

MISSION
STATEMENT: (THINK):

Tenacity
& Teamwork. We are
resourceful,work hard, and always strive to do our best. We show
persistence and “grit” in overcoming obstacles and in working towards achieving
our mission of preparing our students for college, work, and life.

High
Expectations.We are
mission-driven, highly motivated, and maintain the highest expectations for our
students, our colleagues, and ourselves. We believe all children can and will
learn and succeed, that all of our students deserve to go to college, and that
closing the achievement gap is an issue of social justice.

Integrity. We are honest and
ethical in our words and our actions. We do the right thing, even when no one
is watching, because we know it is the right thing to do.

No
Excuses. We accept no excuses from our students, their families, or
ourselves. We will each do what it takes to achieve our shared goals. As part
of this attitude, we each take initiative when we see opportunities to help
others or help our school improve. We step up in large and small ways on a
daily basis and get the job done.

Kindness.
We
genuinely care about and respect all people. We treat others, as we would want
to be treated. We care about our students deeply, and though we may be strict
and “sweat the small stuff,” we also try to bring a sense of joy and humanism
to the classroom.

VISION STATEMENT:

Doña Ana Elementary School is dedicated to deliver a rigorous, balanced, innovative, differentiated and research based curriculum where all students are empowered to discover their strengths and to achieve their maximum potential. We are preparing our students to become competitive leaders and responsible citizens in a global society by providing the stepping-stones for a lifetime of learning.
